What kind of pallet truck?


Moving large and heavy objects around your warehouse, stockroom or plant is a doddle when you use a pallet truck.

But before choosing a pallet truck you must decide if you need a power or a manual truck. A power pallet wagon will be way easier to drive than brands operated by hand and are simpler to maneuver. But there is a drawback - higher cost. So before choosing a pallet lorry work out the weight and dimensions of your largest loads.

Measure and weight your heaviest loads to find the pallet truck that can safely manage them. Determine too the size of the pallets you may be moving around and choose a truck that will accommodate that size.

Another pointer: gauge how high you’ll need to lift the pallets. Most pallet trucks are built to lift pallets up to ten inches off the ground. So before investing in a pallet truck determine the space from the ground to where the pallet needs to be located.

And remember that using a pallet truck to pick up loads higher than it is intended to handle is a major safety hazard.
